Product Details
Each Innovative Mounts kit is engineered using precision CNC-machined components, high-strength welds, and carefully formulated polyurethane bushings designed to improve drivetrain stability while maintaining long-term durability. By significantly reducing engine movement compared to factory rubber mounts, Innovative Mounts products help deliver improved throttle response, more consistent power transfer, sharper shifting feel, and reduced wheel hop during aggressive driving conditions.
Polyurethane Mount Ratings Explained
Innovative Mounts products are commonly available in several different polyurethane durometer ratings to suit different driving styles and performance goals:
60A Urethane
Best suited for daily-driven street vehicles looking for improved response without excessive vibration. Offers a comfortable balance between performance and drivability.
75A Urethane
A popular street/track hybrid option that provides increased stiffness and drivetrain control while remaining tolerable for regular street use. Ideal for spirited driving, canyon carving, and occasional track use.
85A Urethane
Intended for aggressive street cars, dedicated track cars, and high-horsepower applications. Significantly reduces engine movement and wheel hop, though increased cabin vibration should be expected.
95A Urethane
Primarily designed for drag racing and competition-focused builds. Provides maximum drivetrain rigidity and power transfer with substantial vibration and NVH increases.
Benefits of Upgraded Engine Mounts
Upgrading to Innovative Mounts can provide several performance advantages over aging or soft OEM mounts:
Reduced engine and transmission movement
Improved throttle response
Sharper and more precise shifting feel
Reduced wheel hop under acceleration
Increased drivetrain stability during hard cornering
Better durability for high-horsepower applications
Improved reliability for engine swap setups
Designed for Enthusiasts & Engine Swap Builds
Innovative Mounts has become especially popular within the Honda and Acura performance community due to its extensive support for engine swap configurations including B-Series, K-Series, H-Series, J-Series, and other popular drivetrain combinations. Whether building a comfortable street car, a weekend canyon carver, a dedicated time attack vehicle, or a drag racing setup, Innovative Mounts offers mount configurations engineered to match the demands of your application.
Urethane Durometer Guide
- 60A – Street: Lowest-NVH urethane option for primarily street-driven vehicles.
- 75A – Street / Performance: Balanced choice for modified street cars, spirited driving, and mixed street/track use.
- 85A – Track / Competition: Firmer option for track-focused builds prioritizing drivetrain control over NVH.
- 95A – Race: Very stiff competition-oriented option for dedicated race or high-output applications.
- Solid – No Bushing: Maximum drivetrain restraint for competition use where NVH is not a priority.
Innovative Mounts publishes approximate horsepower guidance for its urethane compounds, but durometer should also be selected based on intended use and acceptable NVH.
